Cherries Jubilee

There are dozens of ways to make Cherries Jubilee, this is my favorite. It's so good and rather easy to make. The key to a successful flambé is to heat the brandy over low heat so it slowly reaches the appropriate temperature but retains it's alcohol content, which is important for it to ignite. For this recipe, canned Cherry Pie Filling is NOT a suitable substitute for canned cherries. [A little history of this dessert. Cherries were Queen Victoria's favorite fruit, so legendary French chef Auguste Escoffier created this impressive dish to honor Queen Victoria at her Jubilee celebration.]
